GTIETY OF MURDER.
THE VERDICT IN THE DRAKLEY CASE AT
 LITCHFIELD.

THE VERDICT IN THE DRAKLEY CASE AT
 LITCHFIELD.
 The jury in the superior court at Litchfeld on Friday rendered verdict of guilty in the case of Robert Drakley, aged 21 who at Woodbury August 10, 1886, shot his wife through the heart. It is probable that the sentence will be imprisonment for life at Wethers- field. Drakely is of a wealthy, infuen- tial Baltimore family who were former ly of Woodbury. He went to Wood bury in July 1886, visiting and became infatuated with Maud Warwick, pro- fessional nurse, eighteen years his senior, and despite the objections of his friends married her and took up his residence in Woodbury. They were married but six weeks when he shot her. the act being due to drink and jealousy. The evidence of the defense was to show that he inherited insanity which was intensified by drink, and that he was not responsible, also that the discharge of the weapon was acci- dental. l.-I Hartford Courant.

Alpena weekly argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1871-1893, 1887-03-30

EN- piers, each 12x16 feet set on bed
rock made of fiatted hemlock tim
bers, except the parts to be above wa
ter. The timbers are strongly bolted
and mortised into each other. They
extend but few feet above the sur
face of the dam. To anchor the piers
1913 cords of stone were used. On
these piers set the steel girders, which
consists of two plates of steel nearly
half an inch thick, set on edge and
strengthened by steel ribs on the sides
and steel plates on top and bottom.
The two sides are about eight feet
apart and are firmly held to each 9TH
err by numerous rods and stays. The
height of the girders is FIVE feet, and
they look like long box without top
or bottom. Six of the girders are
each so feet long and $4,000 pounds
in weight. The seventh is 81 feet
eight inches long, and weighs $4,000
pounds. The iron work is therefore
1862 feet in length and weighs 179, 900
pounds. Each girder was finished
complete at Detroit before being ship
ped; Two fat cars were required for
each girder, and were taken to the
edge of the dam and then put on roll
ers and moved to their places. On
the girders are laid timbers, close to-
gether. each 8x10 inches, set on edge,
and the rails are laid on them. The
entire length of the bridge, including
approach on north side, will be a lit
tie over 1856 feet. The bridge looks
as if it was capable of holding all the
weight it will have to bear, without
strain. The next job is to lay the
rails on the north side of the river
and build the permanent depot. which
we understand is to be fine one, and
be near Dock street. Many persons
express the belief that the depot will
not be erected near said street. The
track, close to the bridge on south
side, has to be raised four or FIVE feet.

Is often so offensive that he cannot go In.

disgust. After time liberation sets In,
the spongy bones are attacked, and fire.

source Of discomfort Is the puruent secre-
lions into the throat sometimes producing
inveterate bronchitis, which In It's turn
has been the exciting cause OF pulmonary
disease. The brilliant results which have
attended its use for years past properly
designate Ely's Cream Balm as by far the
